I thought one of the format warnings said it would erase the Shop data, and thus games, points remaining, etc. It also said you'd be unable to restore channels/games downloaded even though you can save them to the SD card.

I just decided the news wasn't that vital to lose what I've already accumulated on it... But you say it still kept the data, and you only need to redownload VC games?

When you confirm the format it warns you that you should delete the shop data too. I just did a format without going out to delete shop data, reconfigured wifi, copied mii's back over, and then went into wiishop and everything I already bought was available to redownload. The warning is far more ominous and unclear than it should be.
